Is the AI being worked on for the next expansion?

Also

Does the game support widescreen? (this is becoming my most asked question these days)

Yes, it does; it just runs in your desktop resolution. I'm grateful that they actually seem to have considerd netbooks as well, it runs beautifully on mine in 1024 x 600.

Just been reading a thread over at wargamer....from what I've read it doesn't bode well. The new era doesn't work so well so they say...shame as this was the expansion that I'd have bought the game for.

I really don't know why they say the AI does not deal with the changes. The changes all work in favour of the AI and prevent unrealistic player created silly manoeuvres. The feedback on our forum is very positive.

I have to agree with Iain, overall the AI seems better to me in SOA than in the previous releases. The multiplayer/PBEM system is still the main draw, but the AI is good for practice.

It's the comment about longbowmen beating french cavalry in melee. Also at range the longbowmen aren't to hot.

Still its only one persons view...I shall check out the slitherine forum,

The effect of archers was to disrupt the enemy mroe than kill them. This is geenrally how battles were won. Casualties were inflicted in greater numbers once one side had run away, not during the main fight.

I agreed with Iain too
